Comment:

 Hi Jan,

 Thanks for your effort here!

 I think the points you make in your last comment are all correct.

 The first step is adding the test cases to cover the `foo=1&foo=2` vs
 `foo=2&foo=1` example. These are indeed different URLs.

 You have `foo=1&bar=1` vs `bar=1&foo=1` already. Are there other examples
 we need to cover?

 Excepting the multi-value case, I don't see order being important.
 (Anyone?)

 I think your proposal to move and reuse `assertURLEqual()` method seems
 very sensible. (Going via `QueryDict` should be more reliable that trying
 to normalise the URL by-hand.)
